Phil Spencer Confirms Xbox is Planning an Xbox Handheld, But It's a Few Years Away (insider-gaming.com)

What Microsoft has been saying about Xbox lately strongly implies that this is a Windows handheld designed to solve software and user experience problems with using current Windows handhelds. And signs are pointing toward the next Xbox console coming sooner than the next PlayStation and essentially being a PC running a console version of Windows. Some speculation on my part, but I'm not the only one coming to those conclusions.

You forgot

MS buys all the competition
MS kills said companies they bought before so everyone has to use their half assed shit product

While true, I don't see Valve selling out to Microsoft.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 6 months ago

Fun fact, Gabe left Microsoft to found Valve. Pretty sure a few other early Valve employees were also from Microsoft.

Never say never.

Who knows what happens when someone else takes the helm at Valve, might not be too long either. Lots of companies see a massive shift in company policies once a new CEO takes over. Hopefully it'll be someone that upholds the same integrity as Gabe.

I hope so as well, as Valve is one of the few companies left these days not consisting of shareholder imbeciles.

That doesn't really happen though what happens is-

MS buys one of the biggest older players, then changes whatever direction they were going in, to their 'new hotness'
MS kills the company they bought after being way too late to market, and everyone has already chosen the cool product
